This is dedicated to all undeserving members of CP
This is seriously it. Of all the times I have reached the limits of my patience, struggling to overcome the pissed-ofness and annoyance of dealing with everyone, this is one of the most frustrating. I have worked hard over the entire holidays, worried and stressed out over the College Annual countless time in the past 5 months, yet no one realises the sort of dire straits the Annual currntly is in. Have a bit more respect for the work you do. Is there any reason to send the editors articles that have not yet been written, mere interviews for which we are must grind out the actual articles which was alloted to you? Or to postpone a meeting to avoid the sheer inconvenience of staying back for a meeting? And then to tell me that you have scheduled a meeting for a time when I have stated clearly that I am not avaliable? Sorry to shake you out of this little bubble of fantasy that you have created, but you are NOT the only ones who matter in this CCA.
Why, might you ask, do I take it upon myself to worry and be pissed off about all this? It comes down to a word which you may not know as yet: Responsibility. I, in part, am responsible for this annual. Not wholly, but partly. This is what I have to do, and if other people do not take their responsibility seriously, the onus is then on me. Be considerate (or is that another word which you have yet to discover?) and realise, perhaps for the first time in your life, that there actually is some things that are severely affected by the outcome of whatever you do.
I am pissed off, because when you joined the CCA, or even became an exco member, you had agreed by taking on such responsibility to manage the task alloted to you. Don't give me bull on how busy you are or how unfair the workload is. Because (NEWSFLASH) you AGREED to do it. So if you are busy, MAKE time. If you think the workload is unfair, just grit your teeth and do it. (I'm only complaining now because you are)
And one last thing: Please, please, please, WAKE UP and be aware of your surroundings. Don't tell me that everything's ok and expect me to believe it, not when a J3 senior has to offer to help me edit articles because no one else is.
